Ugh, I hate these ROI questions. Why can't they just ask something straightforward, like 'what's the square root of 144?' *sighs* Alright, let me re-work this. Okay, I think C is the right answer.

Wait, wait, wait. I think you're both overthinking this. Isn't ROI just (net income / total investment) * 100? So it would be ($525,000 / $500,000) * 100 = 105%. C is the right answer.

Hmm, I'm not sure about that. Wouldn't the ROI be calculated as net income divided by total investment? In that case, the ROI would be $525,000 / $500,000 = 1.05, or 105%. That would make C the right answer.

Okay, let's walk through this step-by-step. Total revenue was $1,925,000, total investment was $500,000, and total expenses were $1,400,000. So the net income would be $525,000. Divide that by the total investment and you get 30% ROI. I'm going with D.

Let's see, the information we have is the total revenue, total investment, and total expenses. Shouldn't be too hard to figure out the ROI, right?

Ugh, this is a tricky one. I'm not sure if I have a good handle on how to calculate return on investment. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
